Talk is cheap Prof.

You were adviser to Shagari and you lead him off the cliff.
Your bank went bankrupt.

It is easier to throw wild cards from the outside when you are not in the driving seat.

We are going thru pains, agreed.

Buhari should listen more, agreed.

Buhari is tackling fundamental causes; not symptoms.

That doesn't make all his decisions perfect, but I have never doubted his sincerity -- I can't say the same for the prof and others like him (everyone is largely working their angle or being plainly sentimental).

When you are not in the driving seat, it is easier to only work with simplistic solutions without considering the fallout and other ramifications.

We shouldn't be importing refined petroleum products in the first place -- how we go about being independent in that regard are things people of the prof's callibre should be proffering.

Dr. Kachikwu and the president have done excellent work generally with the NNPC in the past 9 months, are all those archaic?

What has the non-archaic administrators been doing since 1999, that we have to find ourselves in this sh!thole of importing fuel in the first place?

What happens to pump prices if in 6 months or so from here, oil goes beyond $70 or $80/ barrel? Have you considered the consequences?

Seems you didn't read or you just wanted to join others in attacking the man.. Didn't you see when he criticized the past administration? He even partly wrote APC manifesto.. So anyone that criticizes your god Buhari becomes a supporter of last administration??

Funny enough, you just exposed your hypocrisy.. Same way when Buhari wasn't in the driving seat, he was blabbing about stuffs he knew no idea about, fuel subsidy, security, pipeline vandals, power etc.. Now he is on that seat, he now pays subsidy, the country is more divided than ever, insecurity everywhere, no power... Nothing seemed to have changed and you are using that line to attack this prof?

Shouldn't you hide your face in shame??[/s]

You should hide your head in shame for failing to read and grasp.

Now, read both the original post and mine again. -- you can read it thrice it might help.

Meriekriss:


[s]You think it's by striking off posts that makes you look wise? You can ignore ma exposure if your stinking hypocrisy for all I care..[/s]

Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.

Ghana ran with the economics pat utomi preaches, it all still ends with dependency , debt and crisis.
That hermit nation called north Korea will come out of isolation and still surpass Nigeria within 4 years.
Heck, North Korea has better infrastructure and is more technological advanced than Nigeria.
We are talking about a country that has spent over 60 years under sanctions and isolation.

Implementing the TSA,IPPIS,and BVN with over 3 trillion Naira re-consolidated, and over 40,000 ghost workers collecting billions in salaries exposed, not to mention some head of MDAs drawing over 60 million naira per month exposed, are all those archaic?

Implementing stamp duty charges that has brought almost 1 trillion Naira within just 4 months into the nation's purse, and could bring as much as N4 trillion naira in a year or more, which would be roughly the same amount we get from oil, is that archaic?

Going from roughly 10% to 30% investment in infrastructure is that archaic?

Reducing government re-current expenditure is that archaic?

Dr. Kachikwu and the president have done excellent work generally with the NNPC in the past 9 months, are all those archaic?

I can understand if the Prof. feels he his not being adequately compensated for his work for the party or feels disrespected in a way or so, but that should not translate to throwing his sense of balance and perspective away, or trying to subliminally pitch the VP against the president.

In one sentence he said he wrote APC's manisfesto for them and in another sentence he criticised the APC's "medieval manisfesto".

smarthG:


Don't be narrow minded. How has this your quote contributd to what is happening today?

Why not face reality

Because of their medieval mindset, they have created a country that is more divided than they met it.

Do you think there is a rigion that will fold hands and watch the hatred that is being cultivated in Nigeria?

You better wake up and face realities.

In one sentence he said he wrote APC's manisfesto for them and in another sentence he criticised the APC's "medieval manisfesto". Even a juvenile knows that any new government come with their economic blueprint. Obama did it when he came onboard, David Cameron isn't left out either. The problem with pessimistic personalities like this respected professor is that they believe so much in western Theologue, while forgetting that the Africa economic environs is entirely different.

If I should ask a person like utomi what he think will work best for our developing economy, you will hear him calling America, Germany or UK. These set of people don't understand the African economy to the best of my knowledge. I read a book about macro economics which was written by a person like utomi, gosh I just had to drop the book because the writer just wrote hogwash and was making baseless comparisons. He didn't understood the simple basic economics of African nations. I don't just know why but when it comes to economy matter, I don't take the likes of utomi any serious.

This one is just pained that he wasn't made a minister

He was selected as a proxy by his master Tinubu to play along in their fraudulent chanji ole.

A professor as vp to a man who doesn't have a secondary school certificate. Crazy things do happen in naija due to selfish politics and greed of the elites.

Utomi talks a good game and he does have good ideas;
at times.
However, on the economy, Buhari has not even done enough yet to undermine that useless neo-liberal non-economy which Utomi preaches.
In fact, I would have a loved a situation where he actually destroys that non economy which has turned Nigeria to every country's bit*h
Nobody should blame regulations.
The reason why we import petroleum products is the same reason why we import textile,orange juice and every other thing.
The government allows it.
That is the dumping of subsidised crap from other countries.
Useless president like the corrupt Jonathan and the unpatriotic quack Iweala encourage it by doing things like handing dollar credit cards to privileged Nigerians and removing tariffs.
You do not have to produce anything.Just go shopping . Go crazy, spend spend spend the money you do not have on champagne, private jets and armani bags.

This man is saying nothing but the truth, but it's only a pity that they won't admit it.
And then, their followers will soon be accusing Pat Utomi that he's saying what he's saying because he wasn't given ministerial appointment.
I just hope the VP, PYO will listen and convey the message to his oga. And I pray that God give the the wisdom to rule aright, because, indeed, this suffering is too much for Nigerians.
